Anyone here thinking about doing the virtual Penguins 6.6K Run?
July 27, 2025
I'm not local so I won't be able to make it in person, but the virtual option still gets you a raffle ticket for the Pens memorabilia drawing (and the shirt and medal mailed to you, of course).

My wife, 2 dogs (virtual pet walk), and I do the virtual every year. The shirt, medal, and pet walk participation stuff is pretty cool, and the fees go to a great cause!
I’ve been doing it since the pandemic and enjoy it. The medal is nice, the shirt is a pretty decent dri fit with the Pens logo somewhere (which is generally just as, if not more expensive, as the cost of the entry). Only bummer is living in the south even in to October it can be tough to find a cool time to run.
This will be my fourth or fifth year doing it virtually! It’s a fun way to be part of the Penguins community from far away.
I’ll be participating virtually! My dog will be too, but she’ll only walk about a mile or so because the Texas heat in October is still no joke. I’m actually going to Pittsburgh for the home opener, but that means I’m missing the run in person by a few days. Everyone needs to post pictures from wherever you’re running!
Are there options for bikes, scooters, roller skates/blades, skateboards, etc.? I’m not a runner but I’d be down for a 16.6 km skateboard (longboard) ride.
